Has there been, you know, over your illustrious career, have you seen mental health, shall we say, morphing more into therapy-oriented treatment, quote-unquote? Yeah. whereby it's family therapy or the loss of somebody therapy, whether it's through perhaps death or the loss of a loved one or a boyfriend, a girlfriend, what have you.

To a certain extent, it almost seems like a swamp of so many things in the mental health arena. Yet, we're getting better, which is encouraging. And I should underscore that for our listeners. It's getting better in the sense of how we identify it, how we treat it, how we connect it with different providers of care, etc.,
